Our Current Show

Dad Dutyby Ocean Morisset

Reception: Saturday, February 10th . 4-6pm

Exhibit: January 28th - March 3rd

The Photographs in this exhibition are from an ongoing series of candid portraits I began shooting in 2013 I titled Dad Duty. These photographs show the relationship between African-American father’s and their children with the aim of dismantling the media-driven stereotype/myth of the absent black father. This perception essentially blames the African-American man, and describes him as the root cause of all social ills affecting the African American family today, including poverty, drug and alcohol abuse, and crime. As a result, “black fatherhood” is almost always accompanied or associated by the word “crisis” in U.S. media.

None of the people pictured are aware that they were being photographed. This is the essence of Street Photography; unobtrusively, capturing an authentic moment in time. Most of my personal work is done using an iPhone. Its small size allows me to get close to my subjects which I find brings the viewer in as a close bystander, observing what I observed, feeling what I felt, but also taking in the photo for their own self-reflection.This will be an ongoing series over a long period of time. I will continue to pare back the negative legacy that such a myth has impressed on America through my photography on the streets of New York City, and everywhere.Ocean Morisset is a Peekskill resident since 2013, transplanted from NYC. He is a member of the Peekskill Arts Alliance, and the recipient of the 2018 Larry Salley Photography Award, presented by ArtsWestchester.
